I <3ed my s2000. In the end, who cares if it's not practical, who cares what anyone thinks or does with the car. It's one of those cars that I was glad to own for a while. I've owned a NA miata in the past and while it is still very fun, it's still a completely different car. s2000 has waaay more grip for cornering. The car really wants to be driven fast. Thats also one of the other reasons why I got rid of it. It made me want to drive fast everytime I drove the thing. h: Car is definitely driver oriented. Best thing ever though is the shifter. I already had to get a short shifter kit for my Fit to clean up some slop because I got too used to the s2000's. Best shifter feel evar!
